smash brothers 64: best character?

[exalted]

I used to play SSB competitively and my roommate here in college from Sweden is also very good - Mario in the 64 version is REALLY underrated, I'd say he's top 1-2 at best. Kirby is far from being best character no doubt.

Top tier would definitely be: Mario, Fox, Pikachu, Kirby (barely)

Captain Falcon is close.

Kirby FTW

I don't really know how to play this game, but in my limited experience, Kirby does pretty well when you just mash buttons, and everyone else seemed to be too nuanced for me to actually do well with.

I kept trying Ness cos I have seen pictures where he is using a yoyo as a weapon and that is sweet, but I couldn't figure out how to get it to work.

meh, I usualy kicked everyones ass with luigi, but it's been 6 years since I've played the game so i don't claim him to be the best.

pikachu

kirby and pikachu definitely, they made em both a lot worse in the gamecube version (overcompensated imo)

It's funny how homegrown pro's are so all knowing. Yes, at the pro level it pretty much goes (1v1) Pikachu > Kirby > Others. I can't make ultimatums like this, however, Isai can. If you can't juggle with Ness like mad you're [censored] (yet he dominates in group fights), and fox is typically OVERRATED - every nub that gets beyond the BOOM factor of samus goes 'oooo Fox is fast, he has gotta be the best' - yes and no basically.

kirby just has so many cheese moves its really ridiculous. if he gets you off the edge you have seriously problems (minus pikachu)


go on Youtube and watch some Isai 64 videos and be amazed if you think you are an 'excellent' smasher, then check back.

I never played SSB 64 seriously, but I play Melee competitively, and just based on stuff I've picked up / Isai videos, Pika is def the best. 64 is a pretty [censored] game compared to SSBM, so meh.
